Internal World Bank Secret report: "Biofuel caused food crisis"Biofuels have forced global food prices up by 75% - far more than previously estimated - according to a confidential World Bank report Senior development sources believe the report, completed last April, has not been published to avoid embarrassing President George Bush.
The Report emphatically contradicts the US government's claims that plant-derived fuels contribute less than 3% to food-price rises. Stating that Global food prices are up by 75%, due to the growing of Bio-fuels.
The British government, which was due to release its own report on the impact of biofuels, last week, has been put on hold.
It is thought British study will also state that plant fuels have played a "significant" part in pushing up food prices to record levels
